Doug Bradley, a.k.a. Pinhead, inducted into our Horror Hall of Fame!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The '80s gifted the horror genre with some incredible icons, and ranked highly among them is the character known as Pinhead from the Clive Barker classic Hellraiser (watch it HERE). Pinhead was brought to life by Doug Bradley, who would reprise the role for seven of the nine sequels. The films weren't always well received, but Bradley was always awesome in the role – and that's how he has earned a place in our Horror Hall of Fame. His inclusion was inevitable, and in the video embedded above we make it official!

Bradley's other genre credits include Nightbreed, The Prophecy: Uprising, Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes, Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, Book of Blood, Proteus, Killer Tongue, Scream Park, A Vampire's Tale, and Shame the Devil.

Here's what the Horror Hall of Fame series is all about: 

What does it take to become a Horror icon? Whether it be the Filmmakers orchestrating the frights, the Artists crafting the gore, or the Actors engineering the scares, this series takes an in-depth look at the men and women who paved the way for an entire generation of horror fans, and made the genre what it is today.

This episode was Written by Benjamin Skinner, Narrated/Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
